Put strings and hardware on this thing since I’m not going to spray final clear this year because I put it off too long again. Oh god does it need fretwork, but it sounds killer and the death bucker is awesome. It looks very homemade but it’s probably never leaving home, so, y’know. Tuned to A

A blue baritone with a cocobolo neck and open square inlay. It has one black pickup, black sperzel tuners, a big chrome topped knob and a dramatic single cutaway and binding

I think it was a piece of junk and didn't stick around long.

I've posted a few other Van Halen guitars. This one's my favorite:

I found plenty that had the curly pickguard and plenty with the 3/3 headstock, but it took me a while to find one with both.

If I had a nickel for every guitarist that's used an elaborate bit of technology in order to play "Feel Good Inc.", etc. etc.

The 2674 was $950 in 1976 money, the 2675 was $925 in 1976 money, and the 2676 was $1195 in 1978 money. They were all part of the Artist series, so that's why they were so expensive. Their regular Les Paul copy (2351) was only around $300 in 1976 money.

They have binding and the black one doesn't.

Yep! If you want to know more info on any of the guitars I post, check the alt text.

Yep! He played ESP guitars for about 5 minutes in the late 80s.

That's what I said in the alt text, but I saw an auction listing that said something different, so I started to doubt myself.

I don't think the switch is a coil tap, because the single-neck guitars have the same pickup, but no switches. The pickups are original, though. You can see them if you zoom in on this catalog page:

I might be wrong about what I said the switches do in the alt text, but I can't find any info on this guitar anywhere that isn't from auction listings, so I took a guess. One might be a 3-way pickup switch and one might be a 3-way amp switch. I dunno.

They shoud've just had one amp like Fernandes did with their Nomad doubleneck.

It's from around 2000. At least, that was when the catalog I found it in was published.

ESP THE ALFEE Signature Angel Classic Junior

I've posted a few guitars that ESP made for The Alfee's guitarist Toshihiko Takamizawa (Takamiy), and here's another one. This one is the most normal of the bunch, which is saying something.

The ESP THE ALFEE Signature Angel Classic Junior has a shape that's inspired by a Les Paul, but has went through some rather creative surgery. It's got an asymmetrical waistline, and the cutaway horn has been moved all the way back to where your leg would rest if you played this sitting down. The body also has The Alfee inlaid on it, as well as one of Takamiy's other angel-inspired guitars, making this the only instance I can think of where a guitar's inlaid onto a totally different one.

This guitar's got two humbuckers, and they're controlled by a volume knob and a 3-way switch. It's also got a Floyd Rose trem. The neck has angel inlays and is topped by a curly 4/2 headstock. (Ignore the black things on either side of the headstock; those are from a guitar stand.)

He sure did! I've posted a few of his basses. Here's my favorite pic of him that I've posted. The bass isn't that weird, but the picture has a great story behind it.
